Best VPN provider (In your opinion)? (Strictly no referral allowed)

[Koenig168]

just now i was at the page it was 100% now it became 90% only...
why apply for both... i use this first.. next time i use a diff one..

I'm using Surfshark. First time, got the cashback.

Renewed 3 years with cashback. Shopback T&C did not specify for new account only. After the cashback did not appear, I contacted Shopback and provided them with the details. Shopback credited me with the pending cashback. After a while, the pending cashback disappeared with no message from Shopback. Contacted them and they asked for the details (again). Provided the info and after a few weeks, reverted that SurfShark has declined the cashback, no reason given. Asked Shopback to check with SurfShark for the reason. Dead silence and Shopback has ignored all my emails since.

I have since stopped using Shopback.

AJS 爱加速 is fine for me. Paying this one for quite a few years, at RMB 198 per year. A bit under used though since I do not need it so often.

Transocks should be fine as well.

Only one connection for this price. Transocks offers three connections.

Yes you can try one month for RMB 20, three months for RMB 53. I got the free trial last time and like it. So I am paying RMB 198 per year.

Registration may be a bit tricky without China phone number. My China Mobile number is no longer functional but the AJS account is still alive (along with my Tencent TV account). My QQ Music account is tagged to my WeChat account with Singapore phone number.

I have been paying AJS VPN (for Chinese Entertainment apps) since 2020 at RMB 198 per year. Just renewed one more year at the same RMB 198 per year pricing (they do not seem to have 6.18 or 11.11 offerings).

2. I noticed from my Android phone that now they accept Google Play store payment, a bit more expensive than using RMB (WeChat Pay or Chinese AliPay), but more convenient.

One year --> S$48.98 for one connection
3 months -->S$13.98.98 for one connection
1 month --> S$4.99 for one connection

3. Same for Apple App Store Singapore.
https://apps.apple.com/sg/app/爱加速-静态网络/id1336844271?l=zh

They just translate the RMB pricing into SGD.

One year --> S$48.98 for one connection, about RMB 230
3 months -->S$13.98.98 for one connection, about RMB 68
1 month --> S$4.99 for one connection, about RMB 25

FuNiu 斧牛 seems to be a pure Game Accelerator. So the price is on the high side.

Sixfast offers normal VIP (for Video/Audio) and SVIP (for gaming).
https://www.sixfast.com/en

I tend to think they are not the better option if your goal is for Chinese contents.

 

[xiaofan]

More established provider for going-into-China VPN (for Chinese contents)

I am not fully up-to-date with the offerings out there as AJS has been serving me well. So you may want to check more reviews or try them first before commit.

Transocks 穿梭 -- one of the earlist providers

SpeedIN 快帆 -- one of the earlist providers
https://www.speedin.in/

Malus VPN -- this has been popular for quite some time, with Standard VIP and Advanced VIP.
https://getmalus.com/en/

AJS VPN 爱加速 -- relatively new player, my favourite, but you need to have a mainland China number to register.
